Strategy Changes for Derby

[Chris_6678]

Could be a master stroke..in Simmo we trust.

 

[Bender_]

Late changes for both IMO. Reckon Simmo has good mail that Pav is out.

 

[WCErevival]

Sheppard on Sandilands

 

[Crimson King]

Simmo u cheeky campaigner.

 

[MIKE85]

Bennell could be the same height as McGovern though, nobody really knows how tall the Gov is

 

[ioppolo]

Eagles going the tank.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Sinclair/Lycett to be spending a lot of time back I guess.

Don't make it Yeo, Simmo... pweeze.

Edit: two half backs on the bench looks really weird, too.

folks on the dockers board say that Mundy and Pav trained decently.

Did they wipe their nose with their sleeve afterwards?

Ummm

Final 22 was as expected for me. Would have liked to see Lucas over Hill but i'll take it as it is. I'd leave Barrass till as late as possible and see if Pavlich is in or out. His selection is really all up to whether Pav player IMO

The 22 with me being presumptuous and saying Barrass is a late in for McGinnity. If not we're gonesky.

BACKS: Sam Butler ~ Will Schofield ~ Brad Sheppard
HALF BACKS: Shannon Hurn ~ Tom Barrass ~ Sharrod Wellingham

CENTRE: Elliot Yeo ~ Matt Priddis ~ Dom Sheed
FOLLOWERS: Scott Lycett ~ Luke Shuey ~ Andrew Gaff

HALF FORWARDS: Chris Masten ~ Jack Darling ~ Jamie Bennell
FORWARDS: Callum Sinclair ~ Josh Kennedy ~ Jamie Cripps

INTERCHANGE: Xavier Ellis ~ Mark Hutchings ~ Matt Rosa
SUBSTITUTE: Josh Hill

We had two HB's on the bench earlier in the year and we played great footy with awesome run, carry and transition out of defence.

Not a bad thing.

Simmo's plan:

* Tank this game
* Tank the Bullies game
* Tank the Crows game
* Beat St Kilda
* Finish 4th, beat Freo in the prelim
* Beat whoever in a semi at home
* Win GF

Genius

Almost genius, we need to win the Dogs game, but apart from that, plan is good

 

[Crimson King]

Hopefully Bennell's inclusion means more midfield time for Ellis.

 

[jaxxon]

No Barass, but McGinnity makes the cut? Very odd selection week.

We finish 6th under that scenario tho

 

[ep2018]

Are we baiting Lyon to rest players????

If we lose this game, Freo are pretty much home for top spot. Wouldn't that mean we play them in the QF if we finished fourth?

I think what you meant was we beat Freo in QF & go straight into a home PF

 

[MIKE85]

They've named a full strength side. This will get ugly, fast, round 3 ugly. Could be risky playing a few that aren't 100%, but even if they're are a few late outs for Freo, they will still belt us. They win this, then they don't have to send the old dinosaurs to Etihad the next week, or to AO in the last round. Any talk of them tanking this game is crazy, won't happen.

Yeah if we finish 4th, we play them in the QF, then GF if we were to both make it through, although the loser of the QF would likely have to beat The Hawks at the G in a PF, neither side will be able to do that.

 

[Biggie]

Can't wait for this derby, should be a good solid win for our lads given the ins & outs...

I dont like to get too pessimistic but yeah... this could be worse than round 3

That was back in 2012.

 

[Doughboy]

I have this sinking feeling...
